About our shower tray repair in Daw's End

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, in acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the seal every few months
Get a moving tray checked
Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Do you need shower tray repair in Daw's End?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

Damage around the waste
A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Cracks running from the waste
Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Daw's End. What changes the price is:

The material and finish
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How hard the colour is to match
Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Any details about the material
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
